In the previous papers, the potentiometric titration of acids and bases has been investigated by using four bimetallic electrodes, Pt-Ni, Pt-Ag, Pt-W and Pt-Sb.
In this paper, the determinations of halides with silver nitrate (
N/10 and
N/100) are carried out. At the same time, the titration curves and the changes of potential at the end point (Δ
E/Δ
V) have been obtained. The results obtained are summarized as follows;
(1) In the titration of NaCl, the changes of potential at the end point for four couples are within 50 mV. in the case of both
N/10 and
N/100. At the end point, the potential rapidly decreases for Pt-Ni and Pt-Ag (Group I); on the other hand, the potential rapidly increases for Pt-W and Pt-Sb (Group II).
(2) In the titration of KBr, Pt-Ni is excellent.Pt-W, Pt-Ag and Pt-Sb are also applicable with good results. The inclination of potential at the end point is the same as stated in (1).
(3) In the titration of KI, Pt-Ni, Pt-W and Pt-Sb give good results with the figures belonging to Group II. On the other hand, Pt-Ag gives also good resalts and belongs to Group I.
(4) In the course of titration with AgNO
3, the precipitate is gradually produced and adsorbed on the polished surface of electrode.When this phenomenon happens, the change in_ the potential becomes unstable, or the indication of the end point becomes obscure.
